A/N: I would like to thank SophF95 for the review on the previous chapter, it means a lot to me that enjoying my fic. The play mention is one that I've studied at school, it was absolutely fantastic to perform so that is why I used this opportunity to write about it.

Megan sat in her maths lesson, bored. She often wondered why she chose to study maths at A-Level. All of her friends had a free lesson and she was stuck learning stuff that she already knew. Mr Chalk was stood at the front of the classroom, trying to the teach the rest of the class who were all completely hopeless. When there was a knock at the door, Megan locked up to see Janeece, the school secretary, at the door with a girl that she didn't recognise.

"Charlotte Smith, your new pupil Mr Chalk." Janeece said in her usual bubbly voice.

"Ah, yes. I remember getting an email about you joining our class. If you go take a seat next to Megan at the back, there." Chalky said.

Megan smiled as Charlotte came to sit next to her. Megan then went back to concentrating on texting her friends instead of the lesson. Charlotte sat in her seat rather awkwardly.

"Excuse me?" Charlotte said in a meek voice.

"Hm?" Megan said as she sat up to look at Charlotte. Charlotte had long brown hair like hers with dark brown eyes and rouged lips.

"Err…do you know where this classroom is?" Charlotte asked just as softly.

Megan looked at Charlotte's timetable, she saw that they had pretty much the same timetable as each other. "Yeah I do. We have the same timetable. Stick with me and you'll be fine."

"Thanks." Charlotte replied.

"Why did you leave your old school anyway?" Megan asked.

"We had to move because of my mum's job. I couldn't stay there because I had no-where to stay because I don't where my dad is and I have no other family so it just made sense that me and brother just left with my mum." Charlotte answered.

Megan and Charlotte sat talking for the rest of the lesson and when the bell went they headed to their drama lesson with Mr Wilding as their previous drama teacher, Mrs Humphreys, left.

"Morning guys." Mr Wilding said as he let them into his class room.

They were starting their work on a play called 100. The play was about four characters who are in their afterlives and in a mysterious 'void' and they are guided by a guide and they must each chose a memory that they live out for eternity. Charlotte got given the role of the guide which suited her perfectly. Everyone in the class of five was amazed at how well she played the character. The bell rang for the end of the lesson, Megan checked her phone to see that Lauren had texted her and saying that they were going to be in sixth form common room.

"Charlotte, come on. I'll go introduce you to my friends." Megan called out to Charlotte.

Charlotte and Megan walked to the common room, were Lauren, Finn and Josh were already sitting around a table. Lauren stood up and hugged Megan.

"Who's this then babes." Lauren asked.

"Charlotte Smith, new girl." Megan said.

"I'm Josh. Before this lot tell you Mr Clarkson is my dad." Josh said.

"I'm Finn." Finn said with a strong liverpudlian accent. He had barely lifted his head; he still hadn't got over the death of Sam. Josh nudged Finn in the ribs to get him to look up.

"Look what you do that for." Finn snapped at Josh but he looked and looked at Charlotte. He quickly looked back at his phone.

"Anyway, Charlotte. How you finding your first day so far." Lauren asked trying to take the attention anyway from what just happened.

"Not as bad as I thought it would be. I've quite enjoyed it so far" Charlotte responded.

Throughout the whole conversation, Finn kept giving Charlotte sideways glances and acting like he didn't care with what she was saying.

"Charlotte, I'm having a party Friday night. Your more than welcome to come if you want." Lauren asked.

"Sounds like fun, I'll be there." Charlotte replied just as the bell went.

Megan and Josh both had a free lesson but Charlotte didn't so Megan and Josh took Charlotte to her next lesson. They went back to the common room.

"Finn liked her." Josh suddenly said.

"What?" Megan said stupefied.

"Finn liked her. He her a lot, he hasn't looked at anyone that way since Sam died." Josh told Megan.

"He couldn't just forget Sam like that." Megan said still in a state of shock.

"I suppose your right." Josh said.

The rest of the day went by as normal. Megan went to meet her dad in his classroom at the end of the day.

"Can I help you?" Sian asked Megan as she walked in to the room.

"I'm just waiting for my dad." Megan told Sian.

"You must be Megan. I'm Mrs Diamond. Your dad has told me all about you and your step-sister." Sian said in a friendly voice.

"Only good things I hope. Well bit harder when discussing Lydia." Megan told Sian.

"She does prove to be quite a tricky one." Sian said agreeing with Megan.

"You've met her?" Megan asked.

"In the corridor this morning." Sian informed Megan.

Chris came through the classroom door and picked up his things.

"It was nice meeting you Mrs Diamond." Megan said as she left the classroom.

"You too Megan." Sian called as the door closed.

Megan and Chris drove home in virtual silence as Megan sat on her phone with headphones in. They pulled up on the drive and Alice came running out of the house and hugged her dad.

"Daddy!" Alice shouted as she was lifted from the ground.

"How was your day?" Chris asked Alice as he opened the boot to take things into the house.

"It was ok. I fell over at lunch and cut my knee but I didn't cry." Alice said proudly.

"See you can be such a brave girl." Chris told Alice as he tickled her tummy.

Chris placed Alice on to the floor and picked up his laptop bag from his car and locked his car.

"No Lydia yet." Chris said as he pecked his wife on the cheek.

"You know what she's like she'll grace us with her presence whenever she feels like it." Nicole said as she went back to cooking.

"Did Paul come and have a look at your brake pads" Chris asked as he tied away what he brought home.

"Yes, he said they easy to fix. He just needs to order some and then he will come change them on Saturday at some point."

Suddenly, the home phone rang.

"Hello," Megan said as she answered the phone. "Hi Denzil. Lydia's not here at the moment if you wanted to speak to her…yeah she is in the kitchen." There was concern in Megan's voice all of a sudden.

"He wants to speak you for some reason." Megan said as she handed the phone to her step-mum.

"Hi Denzil…What do you mean she's in hospital? Yeah I'll be there as soon as I can." Nicole said panicking.

"Nic. Nicole look at me. What has happened?" Chris said trying to calm Nicole down.

"It's Lydia. She's in hospital. She has been knocked down by a car. Chris, I need to see her." Nicole said through her sobs.
